I have to change storage settings all the time and I have gotten extremely tired of this and since I don’t know PowerCLI yet why not do shell scripts? These do have lines that assume you are using UCS and I haven’t put any logic in them to actually find out if you are or aren’t. These are based off of the array vendor’s best practice guides that I was given.
What I do is upload these scripts to a datastore and use clusterssh to execute them on all of the ESXi hosts. Reboot for all settings to take effect.
Copy the scripts below and paste it into notepad and save it as a .sh file or download them at the bottom.
